How to fertilize Adiantum trichochlaenum
![Nutrient, fertilizer, and repotting needs for Adiantum trichochlaenum: repot after 2X growth](https://media.greg.app/static/plantx-website-assets/care-pages/nutrient-graphic.jpg?format=pjpeg&optimize=medium&auto=webp&width=600)
Most potting soils come with ample nutrients which plants use to produce new growth.
By the time your plant has depleted the nutrients in its soil it’s likely grown enough to need a larger pot anyway.
To replenish this plant's nutrients, repot your Adiantum trichochlaenum after it doubles in size or once a year—whichever comes first.

How can I help out my fern? So I bought this fern from Home Depot a while back and it was going great until the leaves started turning brownish and getting crunchy. I kept watering it like normal thinking it would maybe bounce back and I tried different lighting hoping that would help but sadly the plant passed away. I was procrastinating throwing it out because I still had hope that maybe it would come back and over the past couple of days I noticed baby fern growth! My question is, how can I help these babies grow and keep it healthy? Should I cut out the dead growth or leave it? The issue is the stems are so thin and fragile I don’t want to risk repotted and breaking those fragile stems or hurting the roots. Anyone have any advice? #HappyPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy #PlantAddict #NewGrowth
